Oat & Almond Flour Pancakes

I mean…I can’t be the only one 😔 Honestly, after all of the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad eating I did over the holidays I can’t help but feel like I probably shouldn’t be eating pancakes. But these are oat and almond flour pancakes so that makes it OK right?

Because, gluten free.

These pancakes are a perfect way to come down from that holiday carb high. Seriously, I don’t think I’ve ever taken so many naps in my life. You know what I’m talking about, those comas you slip into after those big holiday meals.

And that’s ok!

Because we’re all about moderation around here but it’s time to get back to our regularly scheduled programming and these oat and almond flour pancakes are a great way to do it.

All About Moderation

When I do eat carbs, I try to eat them for breakfast or lunch, partially because that’s just my personal preference. There have been a few articles and research studies I’ve come across though that suggest this is the way to go, if for no other reason than fueling your workouts or day to day activity. I also came across a research article from Vanderbilt University that suggested that eating carbohydrates can boost your mood.

This is essentially why I’m all about that flexible dieting life.

Like I mentioned above, these pancakes are a perfect way to regulate your body from all those holiday carbs. Oat flour is lower in net carbs (Thanks fiber! 👍) and calories than white flour. It also has more protein than white flour, which I thought was pretty cool, annnnd if you have oatmeal in your house, you have oat flour. I just processed about 1 1/2 cups of oatmeal with my Ninja Ultima Blender and voila, oat flour!

Perfect Gluten Free Pancakes

These oat and almond flour pancakes get nice and crisp on the outside while still remaining moist on the inside. I love the addition of almond flour in these pancakes because it gives the pancake a nice little bite but you could definitely use all oat flour if that’s what floats your boat. You really could use any granulated sweetener of your choice here, I just feel like brown sugar and oatmeal go together like peanut butter and chocolate.

These pancakes can easily be vegan-ized, just replace the eggs with flax eggs and the butter with coconut oil. I’ve made it this way several times and it’s just as good! The only difference is really in the color, they don’t get as golden but that’s from the absence of the egg. Still delicious though!
